Amino acid transporter

An amino acid transporter is a membrane transport protein that transports amino acids. They are mainly of the solute carrier family.

Families

There are several families that function in amino acid transport, some of these include:

Solute carrier family examples

VIAAT

Vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter (VIAAT) is responsible for the storage of GABA and glycine in neuronal synaptic vesicles.[13]
